Thirteen Things That Mark Me as an Old Man

Goddammit.

It’s started. All the little things that mark an old man.

Shaving the Hair Out of Your Nose

  • hair is growing out the top of my nose – no, not nostrils, on the end. I’ve been trimming ear and nose hair for a long time. Sometimes I pluck, sometimes I use an electric trimmer. I would never let anyone pluck my nose hair.

Salvador Dali Signature

  • my right hand is shaky. When I pick up a forkful of Apple Pie my hand visibly shakes. I haven’t missed my mouth yet, but it’s coming. Healthy young people’s hands don’t shake.

Head Laying in the Gutter

  • I just noticed today that I have that almost imperceptible and uncontrollable head shake that old people have.
